A socialite charged over death of a high-ranking police officer reportedly "accidentally shot him while giving him a massage".
Jasmine Hartin Ashcroft, the daughter-in-law of British billionaire Lord Ashcroft, was charged with manslaughter by negligence after Superintendent Henry Jemmott was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in Belize early on Thursday morning (local time).
When police arrived they found an “emotional” Ms Ashcroft with “what appeared to be blood on her arms and on her clothing,” Commissioner of Police Chester Williams told Channel 5 Belize.
Supt Jemmott was found floating in the water next to the pier with a gunshot wound behind his right ear.
Ms Ashcroft was charged after police took her in for questioning over the incident in San Pedro.
According to 7 News Belize, reliable sources claim Ms Ashcroft was giving the Superintendent a massage on the pier when he reportedly asked the socialite to hand him his gun.
The news station reports the gun then accidentally fired into the back of the police officer's head and Ms Ashcroft allegedly pushed him off the pier in an attempt to get out from under his lifeless body.
The gun was found nearby.

Classic mafia hit. Very professional.
“Okay Ma’am. That’s understandable that you would wish to be freed from being pinned down by the weight of his dead body. The deceased appears to have been well over 300lbs.
Oh..One last question Miss; How was it that you found yourself positioned underneath his body in the first place?
Did he, perhaps, trip and ‘fall’ on top of you, with the gun going off at time of impact? Is that what happened?”
Why was the skank massaging this guy in the first place? She’s supposed to be married.
Trash.
a married socialite was giving a “massage” on a pier to a high ranking cop ? There is a series rabbit trail in here somewhere.. . welp, see y’all later... off to look for rabbits.
One possibility: the massage was coerced. The weapon was laying nearby, so she shot him for the purpose of avoiding rape and/or being murdered.
The old man can buy her way out of this little problem.
Jasmine Hartin — who was denied bail Monday — initially claimed San Pedro Superintendent Henry Jemmott had been shot dead early Friday by someone from a passing boat, police told 7 News Belize.
She then clammed up — but started cooperating when local authorities told her she would be charged with cocaine possession, the station said.
Guess he got off.
I confess to being unfamiliar with massages. Is it normal practice for the masseuse to be underneath the person receiving the massage?
Time to pre buy the book at Amazon.
Ok this one is a keeper. Hand me my gun? During a massage? When he is on top of her?

*laughing inappropriately*
Ummmm,... it was an accident...
Ya, that’s the way it happened.
Something smells here.
Why was this happening anyway?
Depends on the cost of the massage.
